As construction is a labor intensive sector, its collapse reverberated through other areas of the economy. Between 2002 and 2007, the total number of job holders, many of them on temporary contracts, rose by a massive 4.1 million, a much steeper rise than in any other EU country and more than three times higher than the number created in the preceding 16 years. Since 2008, more than 3 million jobs have been lost, around half of them in the construction and related sectors. Spain’s current unemployment rate has decreased over the last 6 months but is still very high at over 23% of the population. In Barcelona, the number of unemployed in November stood at 428,634 people, 1.35% less than October, representing 5,871 fewer jobless. Although there has been a positive increase in the amount of jobs there are still many people, especially the youth, that are unemployed. The increase in employment is not necessarily going to continue and a new vision or solution needs to be addressed in order to create new opportunities for people to get jobs. An analysis on the density of Barcelona’s city, the population, unemployment and existing jobs has been undertaken, in order to contribute to an investigation that will be further developed.
